74 Maka Albarn [Voice]

[togana_keiri]

I know we’re going to beat this like we always do, but…I don’t want to leave anything unsaid, just in case. [There’s a drawn out silence before she sighs.] I'm not giving up. [But it's a lot harder to ignore the week when she's started to feel the affects.]

That’s all.

Thank you, Maka Albarn. For everything.

[There are things he will leave unsaid, apologies for not being stronger or better or more able to help, detailed thanks for every risks she took to save him from insanity, thanks for being the only person who cared enough to try and be his meister.]

This isn't goodbye. [It kind of is but she doesn't want to admit it.]

We're not done yet. I just wanted you to know.

[guillotine_beat]

I know.

I said it before when I was being an idiot, and that was different. I didn't mean it then, but I do now.

Justin Law, I do love you. You're part of my family.

I know it might not mean a whole lot now, but for what it's worth, I apologize for the way I've been acting recently.

And even though I'm not technically allowed to say this, given the circumstances it's probably alright: You always were my favorite student.

It means a lot. It means a whole lot.

Like I didn't know that. [She joking, and her throat is swelling with proud tears. She always wanted to make you proud Stein. Even in a place like this.]

I wanted to do something special as an apology but under the circumstances, I guess we all just ran out of time. It's a shame; I really did want to give you and Terezi some cake.

But be careful going around saying things like that. You might end up getting your grades questioned over favoritism, and I have a feeling that is something you would never forgive me for.

It would have taken more thank cake, professor. [But that's the first time she's called him that in a long time.]

Never. Ox would have never let me live it down.

If you don't give up, I won't give up.

See you when this is over.

[togana_keiri]

We'll get to that training, right?

[faultlesscon]

Told you I would hold you to it.

Don't worry.

[ he's had to learn what this lobotomy thing was from reading other posts, but even though he's also begun feeling the effects, his tone is as cocky as ever ]

That's the most inspiring speech you could dredge up?

Voice;

[togana_keiri]

[She answers his snark by completely ignoring it.]

I'm glad we met, Bakura.

Re: Voice;

[denyamenti]

[ he's legit never had anyone say anything like that to him before ]

... tch. Part of your brain is definitely already gone.

Voice;

[togana_keiri]

Possibly. [She grins.]

I wouldn't have changed at all if it wasn't for you. You are the real hero here Maka Albarn, not me.

[text/locked]

[togana_keiri]

No one can change a person but themselves. I just offered some advice.

[text/locked]

[livingbioweapon]

You did more than give advice even if you don't believe it. I'm lucky you've put up with me, so thank you.

[Now would be an excellent time to apologize for all the things he's pulled, like attacking her boyfriend. Would be an excellent time for that, but it's not happening, oh well.]

[togana_keiri]

I've been just as lucky to have you as a friend.
